Gardening is an effective way to fight climate change, as it helps reduce carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. Plants absorb carbon dioxide during photosynthesis, converting it into oxygen, and thereby reducing the amount of greenhouse gases in the air. Gardening also helps to promote biodiversity and preserve natural habitats, which can reduce the impact of climate change on local ecosystems. Furthermore, growing your own food can reduce reliance on industrial agriculture and transportation, which are major sources of greenhouse gas emissions. By gardening, individuals can play an active role in reducing their carbon footprint and contributing to a healthier planet.

I absolutely agree with you. However, when gardening, many people tend to lean towards chemical brands and items, to provide themselves with more efficient crops and pesticides to rid themselves of bugs and other animals, which leave negative impacts on the environment. If gardening for the sake of the environment, make sure that you use company’s and products that don’t hurt the earth.

I always new that gardens were a great way to create your own food, but I never really thought about how they absorb carbon. In another class of mine, I learned about how trees absorb carbon, and how important it is to protect them. But gardens I imagine absorb loads of carbon two. It is really interesting to see all the different benefits that gardens have. I used to have a garden, but my family and I didn’t have the time to take care of it, but after seeing this I think it would be a really good idea to home a garden.
